"This is... Black Jade Stone!?" Kolan was stunned.

With a thought, a piece of Black Jade Stone appeared in Kolan's hand.

Black Jade Stone is something that does not exist in the material plane; it comes from other planes, and its hardness is such that even an average god would find it difficult to destroy.

Black Jade Stone is extremely precious; a piece the size of a palm is even more valuable than a Saint-level Magical Beast core because it can be used to forge divine artifacts.

Take the sword Kolan used previously, for instance; it was already ruined, and one must realize that sword was used by a Saint-level expert.

This was precisely because it did not contain any Black Jade Stone.

Kolan possessed three divine artifacts, but that did not mean he would complain about having too many.

He had even considered forging a divine artifact that suited him perfectly.

Those two divine artifacts, a blade and a sword, were somewhat unsuited to Kolan's habits.

Now, with such a large piece of Black Jade Stone, let alone forging one divine artifact, he had more than enough to forge ten.

After storing the Black Jade Stone in his interspatial ring, Kolan inspected the various bottles and jars.

There was toxic gas capable of killing Saint-level experts, and Soul Venom capable of severely wounding them.

Then there was a notebook, which belonged to that Undead Saint Magus.

Glint, huh? The year 588 of the Yulan calendar—that's over four thousand years ago! No wonder I've never heard his name, Kolan thought to himself.

After transferring everything to his interspatial ring, Kolan stepped into the third-level space.

The third-level space was a jungle world, filled with dense foliage, thorns, and more.

Even the core region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range could not compare to this place.

In such a location, it was very easy to be ambushed.

Kolan wore his divine artifact armor, held his sword, and began to explore.

In such a place, while it was dangerous for others, it was a different story for Kolan.

His cultivation in the Life Law had reached a profound level, and he felt he was not far from becoming a god.

In this jungle world, he was like a fish in water.

He knew exactly where every sign of life was.

Those green snakes preparing to ambush him were not given a single chance by Kolan.

In this jungle world, all life had reached the Saint-level, and there was a vast number of magical beasts.

Moreover, many of the magical beast species had never even been seen on the Yulan Continent.

Many plant-based lifeforms were even terrifying.

For example, there was a type of Saint-level Man-eating Flower that a normal Saint-level expert would not be able to distinguish; without vigilance, they would be devoured the moment they got close.

On the Yulan Continent, plant-based life was rare, but in this jungle world, it was abundant.

Even the vines themselves were alive.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Beirut said that as long as one is careful and cautious, one can save their life. At this rate, at least ten or even twenty percent of the Saint-level experts who enter will die," Kolan sneered inwardly.

If you believe Beirut, you'll die without even knowing how.

In a place like this, let alone human Saint-level experts, even Saint-level magical beasts would find it hard to guarantee their own survival.

Danger was everywhere; there wasn't a single spot that wasn't perilous.

Take the second-level undead world, for instance; if he hadn't killed the Undead Saint Magus, facing so many Saint-level undead lifeforms and the charge of a million-strong undead army, any weaker Saint-level expert would likely have been killed.

As for this jungle world, if a peak Saint-level expert were the slightest bit careless, they might also end up here for good.

Arriving at the central region of the jungle world, he found the passage leading from the third-level world to the fourth-level world.

At the passage, a sword was placed, its quality quite decent.

However, Kolan couldn't be bothered to even glance at it; it would be better to just use the Black Jade Stone to forge a divine artifact later.

The fourth-level world was a magical beast world, where everything was a Saint-level magical beast.

Saint-level Black Dragon, Saint-level Wind Dragon, Saint-level Thunder Dragon. All sorts of Saint-level dragon clans, and even a Saint-level Tyrannosaurus.

Saint-level Purple-Striped Black Bear, Saint-level Purple-Eyed Golden-Haired Ape.

Kolan sighed in admiration, wondering what these Saint-level magical beasts had done to be imprisoned here by Beirut.

Here, Kolan finally felt interested.

This place could hone his practical combat experience.

A great battle broke out immediately!

A Saint-level Wind Dragon spotted Kolan, its sharp dragon claws reaching out to grab him.

A flash of sword light, and the Wind Dragon was cleaved in two by a single strike, crashing to the ground.

The corpse was immediately stored in Kolan's interspatial ring, and the Wind Dragon's soul was sealed by Kolan into a bottle.

Saint-level magical beasts were treasures from head to toe, but likewise, the souls of Saint-level magical beasts were also treasures that could be used to refine Soul Gold Beads.

Asking Kolan to slaughter ordinary people to collect souls, refine soul essence, and forge Soul Gold Beads was something he truly could not bring himself to do.

However, here, that problem did not exist.

The more souls, the better.

The roar of the Saint-level Wind Dragon startled other Saint-level magical beasts, and these Saint-level magical beasts rushed toward this location like madmen.

Kolan unleashed his methods and began to battle these Saint-level magical beasts.

More and more Saint-level magical beasts arrived, yet Kolan did not retreat in the slightest.

These Saint-level magical beasts could not break through the defense of the divine artifact armor on his body; no matter how many came, it was useless.

On this day, in the fourth-level space, Baruch arrived.

He stared in dumbfounded silence at Kolan, who stood suspended in mid-air, with the corpses of Saint-level magical beasts scattered all over the ground below.

Even he, if he encountered so many Saint-level magical beasts, would have no choice but to flee.

Kolan, however, had slaughtered so many Saint-level magical beasts all by himself.

Kolan glanced at Baruch, revealed a smile, and then collected all the corpses of these magical beasts.

As for the souls of these Saint-level magical beasts, he had captured them all.

"Kolan, your strength is probably no different from a god!" Baruch arrived at Kolan's side and exclaimed in wonder.

"Without becoming a god, one is ultimately just an ant! I'm still far off," Kolan waved his hand and said.

Divine might is like a prison; that is no joke.

The Divine Domain alone is enough to suppress Saint-level experts, leaving them unable to move and ready for the slaughter!

"You're quite fast; you're the first to reach the fourth level besides me," Kolan laughed.

He was only a short distance from the entrance, so he knew clearly who was coming in.

In this era, besides the Four Ultimate Warriors, the Yulan Continent actually had six other peak Saint-level experts; two of the High Priest's disciples were among them.

However, none of these six peak Saint-level experts had reached the fourth-level passage yet.

It had to be said that Baruch's strength was indeed quite formidable.

"I'm far worse than you. Now it seems that the second-level space was also cleared out by you," Baruch said.

Kolan smiled: "That was an undead world, all manipulated by an Undead Saint Magus. I didn't like the look of that Undead Saint Magus, so I finished him off."

"Let's go. There are no more Saint-level magical beasts here; let's split up and look for the passage!" Kolan said.

"Fine!" Baruch said.

Afterward, the two separated and began searching for the passage to the fifth level.

Kolan searched carefully, and after spending some effort, he finally found it.

Walking into the passage and entering the fifth-level space, he found a world of rock, with boulders visible everywhere.

He saw that Baruch was in the middle of a fierce battle with a Rock Giant.

After dragon-transforming, Baruch's body was covered in emerald-green dragon scales, with a dragon horn on his forehead and a green dragon tail.

As for the Rock Giant, it held an axe and stood five meters tall.

Finally, Baruch's battle blade shattered the Rock Giant's head, slaying the creature.

Kolan noticed that Baruch's battle blade was different from the one he used before.

He guessed it must have been a reward obtained at the passage entrance.
